One big win for Warwick business coach - and one more in the offing
Warwick business coach Anu Khanna has plenty to celebrate after scooping a Great British Franchisee Award (GBFA) for her work helping local businesses thrive.


And the good news keeps coming, as she's also been named a finalist at the British Franchise Association (BFA) Awards, with the winners set to be revealed next month.
The GBFA celebrates the cream of the crop when it comes to UK franchise owners, recognising everything from business growth and happy teams to customer success and community impact. Based in Warwick, Anu has been running ActionCOACH Central Midlands since 2018, helping local business owners grow their companies, build stronger teams and enjoy a better work-life balance.
The recognition is particularly special for Anu because it celebrates the people and relationships at the heart of her business. “For me, the best part of this business is seeing the difference we can make to local business owners, helping them level up their organisations and achieve things they might never have thought possible.
“Every business owner has their own ambitions, challenges and reasons for doing what they do. Being able to support them on their journey, celebrate their successes and help them create a business and life they love is incredibly rewarding.”
The Great British Franchisee Awards judges praised Anu's strong business performance, exceptional client relationships, investment in her team and contribution to the wider community. Her latest achievement is made even sweeter by her BFA Customer Focus finalist nomination, recognising her commitment to providing an outstanding experience for the businesses she supports.
With the BFA Awards ceremony taking place on 12th November, Anu is looking forward to celebrating alongside fellow finalists and reflecting on the journey so far. “Being shortlisted for Customer Focus means so much because our clients really are at the heart of everything we do,” concluded Anu. “I'm really proud of my team and grateful to every business owner who has put their trust in us. To receive this recognition is wonderful, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for our brilliant local business community.”
